FORT GOOD HOPE, N.W.T. — RCMP in the Northwest Territories are looking for a suspect in a stabbing that has left one dead and others injured.

Mounties told residents in Fort Good Hope on Tuesday night to stay in their homes but lifted the advisory this morning.

However, they have asked residents of the community to “remain vigilant.”

They say officers are looking for help in locating the male suspect.

The force’s major crimes unit, forensic identification services, police dog services and emergency response teams have been deployed to assist with the investigation.

Fort Good Hope is a community of about 500 people located along the Mackenzie River in the territory’s northwest.
